Coversong written by Nick Lowe and also made famous by Elvis Costello

          G          C
As I walk through
            G        C
This wicked world
              Em           A           D          C
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

      G          C
I ask myself
            G     C
Is all hope lost?
              Em       A           D          C
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

         G                Gmaj7
And each time I feel like this inside,
G7                        C
There's one thing I wanna know:
G                     D                  Em       A
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
G                     D                  Em         D
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes

So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
 
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

LYRICS
Operation demolition
Of the Constitution
De-regulation station of the damn-nation
Dismantle rationality
Demolish the humanity
Join in the calamity
Govern-mental insanity
It’s time we see
From sea to rising sea
It’s up to you and me
Let’s make it so we can see
More clearly
Let’s make it so we can breathe
More cleanly
Maybe even love more dearly?

LYRICS
It’s hard to face the facts
When the facts lack
Or pull yourself up by the bootstraps
A barefoot kickback
Going to find the facts
Put an end to this fact flack
Get baby a new pair of shoes
Compassion’s for those that choose

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Now that I’m facing the facts
We elected a slack
In need of a boot to the ass
To show us worldly class
Back from fact finding
No need in reminding
Don’t ever, ever, ever let in
A con-man with thin skin
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

LYRICS
The fear
Of his smoke and mirror
I tire
Of the bold face liar
Bankruptcies
As far as the eye sees (the I’s see)
Oligarchists
Stealing money hands over fists
Took a full-time job
Taking money from the mob
Imagine this
Russian prostitute piss
What’s next
Off shore snakeoil drilling
Perplex
For sure, taxpayer billing
OH! Sob…
Dirty laundering with the Russian Mob
Now you
Make ‘merica squandering, again

LYRICS
To be governed by a narcissist
To be ruled by a fascist
Wake me up! Tell me it was only a dream
Reality can’t be this mean

Despite the claims of the alt-right
No supremacy in ultra white
Wake me up! Tell me it was only a dream
Reality can’t be this mean

Evangelical Christians
Mountin’ up a mountain of sins
Wake me up! Tell me it was only a dream
Reality can’t be this mean

Megalomania hysteria
The fall of all in America
Wake me up! Tell me it was only a dream
Reality can’t be this mean

Won’t be long… before it’s all wrong

LYRICS
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It’s alright we know where you’ve been
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and ‘scouting for boys’
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn’t like school, and you
Know you’re nobody’s fool
So welcome to the machine

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ‘Keep on digging’
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry

Another Brick Part IV
I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on tRump’s wall
Don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
No, don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
All in all we’re all just bricks in tRump’s wall
All in all you were all just bricks in tRump’s wall

Just when I thought I couldn’t see any more
Low and behold… what walks through the door?
Ain’t seen it before

Your faith’s been ripped
Your beliefs’ been tore
Too much political blood and gore
Ain’t seen it before

There’s the ____________ (fill in a political office)
Acting the whore
How much more do we need to endure?

At the backdoor
Trying to break in
And steal some more
Evil and rotten to the core

On the home and the range
When the most hypocritical resident

Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say

I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
I gotta go

Think I gotta go
I want to fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye

LYRICS
You must be kidding me
Can’t believe the things I see
The relativity
Of spacetime gravity

It’s hard to believe
It’s gettin’ heavy
Damn it… the mass of our planet
Causing our morals to plummet

Another sister or brother
Turning on one another
Doesn’t anyone bother?
Make an effort to discover

Protesters protesting protesters
Like prehistoric raptors
Preaching like Southern pastors
More like rat bastards

Are you telling me this is reality
From what I see there’s a discrepancy

Get your elbows off the table
Where are your manners
This ain’t no epic fable
Take down your signs and banners

I’m not certain… is Tim Burton
Directing?
It’s geared for the sooo weird
Retrospecting

Close your mouth when you’re chewing
Where are your manners
I mean… what the hell are you doing
Have you gone bananas?
